The truth about Swamp Yankee Wannabes
I also blog at:
A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

We were somehow coerced into a conversation about potty training by a perfect stranger, albeit a perfect stranger with an 22 month old, when Lionel said, "We just got a potty-trainer at..."and then a huge silence ensued, as though he was t

A few weeks ago I overheard someone lamenting the fact that they were unable to purchase their tomato seedlings because of the salmonella crisis. Apparently the recent discovery that our food chain isn't foolproof caused a rush on the green

Yesterday we had a company meeting, and among other joyous news pieces it was announced that for the rest of the year we could "dress down", or word for "casual".When I "dress down" I usually go all out, with ragged-ende

Having studied humans from our most distant beginnings, digging up their remains and making educated guesses about what they were doing and thinking at the time, to now, going about my life and observing the people around me, I've long since come

Times were this place was Swamp Yankee Wannabes....and a dog . They were frantic, crazy times, but they were fun nonetheless. Then along came the Bundle and we became Swamp Yankee Wannabes....and a dog...and a baby . Those were even more
Scary Road
Friday, 30 November 2007 6:49 A GMT-05
A few months ago now I had escaped the house for a brisk walk down the road with neither the dog nor the Bundle in tow. I passed a neighbor's house, and the neighbor looked at me in surprise. I thought maybe she was surprise to see me

As many of my readers may know, I've weaned the Bundle O' Joy after seven months of exclusive breastfeeding, a feeding method which went against my better judgment and severely cut into my independence. To any of the self-righteou

Today we bundle up the Bundle, a pie and some chestnut stuffing, pack us all into the car and head down to the great city of Dedham, Massachusetts for some turkey and some good times. So far we're off to a great start. The Bundle o

A few days ago I got a letter from my dentist. "We've noticed you haven't been in in a while!" the letter read, cheerfully. "Maybe you should think about making an appointment?" "That's fine!&quo

I've always had long, dark eyelashes. To me this merely means more eye lashes in my eyes, but I have noticed that people (usually women, to be sure) wear this inky gunk stuff on their lashes, making them look like a gross approximation of w
General Washington, a Store
Sunday, 18 November 2007 11:18 A GMT-05
The local (and only) store in town is located near the Town's center and right on the beaten track, which makes it both ideal and a nightmare for both parking and for traffic passing through. The store has, perforce, a small gas pump which

Wait, am I still Person of the Year ?Time, every man's intellectual magazine, continues their theme by pointing out our averages . We're an average people, after all, our outrageous output of CO2 notwithstanding. We're still famili

Yesterday I startled the President of the company by showing up next to him when a moment before he had seen me heading the other way. I had merely walked down the hall and forgotten that I'd wanted to talk to him, but before I could say an

It's United Way week at work. For the same reason I turn the channel whenever NPR affiliate channels star their pledge drives, I immediately shut down when UW comes in the door. It's not that I'm againt NPR-- I love it-- or ag

Sometimes doing things out of the ordinary leads you to places that you've never been to, and its neat when it coincides that the thing out of the ordinary is actually pretty normal and the place you have to go to do it is actually right by your
Lahars in time

We've been there , you see, so it was doubly frustrating. The stately Ruapehu, ski mecca this time of year, finally blew its top yesterday morning. And I missed it!The locals, apparently, were hardly concerned. In deference to
Wannabe bloggin'
Wednesday, 12 September 2007 5:58 A GMT-05
It's one of those days again where I appear to be much more interested in checking out my statistics, my referrals and how the heck people get to my site in the first place than to actually write something meaningful which might bring you all bac

My very first favorite food was olives. Green olives with pimentos or black pitted olives you could stick on your fingers; it didn't matter, though the green ones frequently came out of the martini's of the adults around me for that ext

Our culture evolves faster than we can keep up.It always has, but the evidence is clearer now, what with all of us connected through great tubes of fast moving bytes. There are the naysayers, suddenly caught up in a wave they weren't prepar
Under it all

I was never much into fashion even as a teenager. Clothing was useful in that it covered vulnerable areas from thorns and dirt and kept the wind and rain out. There was also that societal edict that clothes should be worn. But I did

Blogging the Future

Everyone is suddenly celebrating random blog birthdays . I myself have written 756 entries in 2 years, 8 months and 24 days. That's quite a lot of babbling in the morning. I have picked up some traffic in the last year or so but
Fun in the Sun

I began drinking coffee when I was 11 or 12 or so. I'm not sure I liked the stuff at first, but I was sure it was a sign of maturity. I've been pretty much unabashedly addicted to caffeine since then, although the whole pregnancy/
Getting what you want
Thursday, 26 July 2007 5:47 A GMT-05
It's hard to get what you want. Sometimes you really have to work at it, sweat it out, burn the midnight oil. Luck is involved too. That's why this lawsuit is so clever.I lived for a while next to a Cumberland Farms which w
Public Service Gone Awry

First we heard the terrible news that Dick "Darth Vader" Cheney was suddenly the President of the United States. What tragedy had befallen the Bush? Had he been kidnapped by Osama? Had he finally had a fatal bicycling acc
